Here's a nagging Android riddle I'd like to understand just out of curiosity, as opposed to researching an 'issue' that needs to be resolved. We all have better things to do (laundry, pull weeds, floss) than to make a case out of this post.
I'll ask anyway.
In my graphic the shortcut on the left shows normal behavior from the Settings widget in Oreo. The shortcut on the right, however, just showed up on the home screen out of nowhere. I'm clueless about how it got there and why it has color. Is anybody familiar with this?

I think it's a spyware from mobile-tracker-free.com . Coz I used it before and it comes as the name of WiFi in the settings to avoid attention of the user.

It's not spyware. But mystery solved. The peculiar green shortcut is an Oreo feature.
In my case it showed up by accident. Here's how it's done on purpose:
Long-press the Settings app icon until a pop-up box appears with a short list of widget items that can be dragged to the home screen. In my case there are only 3 options -- battery, data usage and wi-fi.
There are similar effects by long-pressing other apps like Gmail and Messages.

Hi,
Could someone tell me if there's a way to change/remove the icons from the today screen. I'm talking about the little butterfly, the house, the messenger icon and the envelope.
Thanks
Andrew
Did you steal your device or something ?
It's in the manual, but here you go...
Start > Settings > Today > Items tab
disable and re-order the Today Screen items there
No, I actually bought it. Actually it never crossed my mind to read the manual. Maybe it's a bad habit.
Thanks

I'm much the same, actually... I like to just sit down and poke at things (found the today screen settings that way, for example).. but manuals do sometimes have good information that you can't easily stumble upon otherwise.. so once I feel 'ok' with a device/piece of software, I read through the entire manual once, and highlight (or note down) the bits that are interesting and seem non-obvious.

Just sharing what I found:
Screen Rotator detects the orientation of the device and uses its built-in configuration dialogues to create rotation behavior rules for specific applications, with an extended option to blacklist and whitelist un/wanted programs. A very neat feature is that it will turn the screen off if the device is placed face down but it also has a great option to prevent the screen from going off automatically if the device is not perfectly laid down flat (otherwise, when flat, normal behavior occurs).
After downloading and installing it to Device, it will stay resident after launching and get the device orientation in order to properly rotate the Windows environment, though it has options for minimizing and hiding.

P.S. Hope the real developer will notice this thread (unless he has done so), and maintain it, after deleting this thread completely and openning a new one, as this is a great application with some extra cool functions, compared to SKKV Software’s GSen.
Noticed the thread is there ..... ADMINS ... kindly remove this thread completely, thank you.

How do i get the half circle, spinning quick shortcut wheel to appear on the bottom left of my phone? My wife and i both have the USA T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and her phone is the only one that does it. If you swipe upwards diagonally, from the bottom left or right corner, then the quick access wheel appears. This only works on my wifes phone. We both got them at the same time, unboxed them together and she doesnt have the smart swipe app installed from the Galaxy store, but yet her phone does it without problems. There has to be a setting on my phone that can be changed to get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i have a picture i took of her screen on my phone but not sure how to share it on here.

It's not a Samsung pre-installed app. You can read here and find what is yours

Thank you for the information. So it sounds like my wife must have an app installed on her phone that contains this feature, yes/no? Second, whatever apps contain this feature, it looks like everone is trying to get rid of it. That option wont appear on my phone because i dont have any apps that support that swipe gesture?
Anyone knows how to make the top notification (ex: spotify) always show in full? I have to drag it down to see the extra buttons, which I didn't have to do on my other phone a lg g6 on oreo also. See attached images for how it shows and when i drag it down a little you see there are more options. Why is it always showing the smaller version of a notification by default? Even other apps like system Do not disturb do this, have to drag down or click the notification to see the button to "turn off"
Edit: it's called expanded notification... I still can't seem to find how to make this topmost notification auto expanded. Its quite dumb that the expanded one takes a few pixels more, why bother shrinking it, samsung??

Temp fix... use another notifications app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.treydev.pns&hl=en_US
It lets you set whether to auto expand the first or all notifications... yay.
It's also lighter on memory than others. About 70 MB use according to dev options running services.
